Reflections fade, but pain remains,

I touch the cracks — they whisper names.

A thousand faces, none are mine,

I’m lost between the fault lines.

Can’t escape the sight I see,

The monster looking back is me…

Shattered light, a fragile ghost,

I built this cage I fear the most—

Broken… Mirror…

Can’t fix what’s already gone—

Broken… Mirror…

I fade when the lights turn on.

Every shard a memory,

Cut too deep — now I bleed me.

Can’t see who I’ve become—

Can’t see… can’t see… can’t see…

My shadow moves before I do,

Haunting halls of deja vu.

Every lie, a silver thread,

Binding me to what I said.

I scream but no one hears,

Drowned beneath the shattered years.

The silence echoes clear—

You were never really here.

Broken… Mirror…

I am all I fear—

Broken… Mirror…

Truth is crystal-clear.

The cracks will set me free,

In ruin, I’ll find what’s real.

No mask, no memory—

Just light beneath the steel.

Pieces fall like ash from sky,

I watch myself dissolve, then rise.

Every break — a brand new frame,

I wear my scars, I keep my name.

Broken… Mirror…

I am what I’ve become.

Broken… Mirror…

And I’m not the only one…
